UK basketball notebook: Is college game more showcase than competition? With defeat becoming an increasing possibility at UCLA, the situation called for someone on Kentucky’s team to make a statement. Point guard Tyler Ulis answered the call. During a timeout huddle, he shoved freshman Skal Labissiere. ![]() Television captured this bit of eloquent body language. The immediate message? C’mon, man. Get after it. We need you. The big- picture message? Winning or losing matters. Never mind the national audience on ESPN nor the 5. Pauley Pavilion nor a crowd that included Hollywood glamor and basketball luminaries. Ulis wanted to win, which is not to imply that Labissiere was indifferent. Labissiere is still taking baby steps in his development as a player. It’s just that, in a general sense, caring about winning can seem quaint at a time when branding and rankings and projections and analytics and potentially lucrative pro contracts reign supreme. When it was suggested that college basketball was becoming more showcase than competition, Len Elmore said, “I wonder the same thing about competitiveness. There are still players like Ulis who care about winning, the former Maryland All- American said. But with all the talk about the need for more grit and fight, you have to wonder, again in a general sense, how important winning is. They’re out there to show what they can do because college basketball is just a way station. It’s part of the journey. It’s not the destination. And that’s a shame. .

On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal projected the possibility of basketball history being made next spring. After declaring that LSU freshman Ben Simmons is college basketball’s best player, the newspaper said he could become that rare player who never played in an NCAA Tournament and was the No. NBA Draft. So far, both player and team are doing their part to make that happen. Noted numbers cruncher Ken Pomeroy projected LSU’s final record as 1. At mid- week, LSU had a 4- 4 record against what The Wall Street Journal called “one of the nation’s weaker non- conference schedules. Pomeroy ranked the Tigers No. At mid- week, LSU had a Ratings Percentage Index of 2. The return of shooter Keith Hornsby from injury and the addition of Arizona transfer Craig Victor II at midweek might blow away the gloomy projections. Only two freshmen have had a better player- efficiency rating than LSU’s Ben Simmons: Anthony Davis in 2. De. Marcus Cousins in 2. Meanwhile, at midweek Simmons was averaging a double- double: 1. Of course, it’s early, but The Wall Street Journal reported that since 2. Both played for Kentucky: Anthony Davis in 2. De. Marcus Cousins in 2. A dubious bit of basketball history will be made if LSU does not play in the 2. NCAA Tournament and Simmons is the first college player chosen in the 2. NBA Draft. Since 1. NCAA Tournament expanded to 6. NBA Draft not played in that year’s NCAA Tournament. That player? Michael Olowokandi of Pacific. He was the first overall choice in 1. Pacific did not play in the 1. NCAA Tournament. Pacific did play in the 1. NCAA Tournament, losing in the first round. So Simmons can stand alone as the only college player to be a first overall pick and never play in the NCAA Tournament. The Wall Street Journal cited two examples of freshmen who never played in an NCAA Tournament and became first- round picks: Noah Vonleh of Indiana in 2. Spencer Hawes of Washington in 2. Great Xmas present’UK Coach John Calipari tweeted a question on Tuesday: “Still looking for that great Xmas present? He then recommended Let’s Ball, the highlight tape of UK’s 2. The DVD chronicles Kentucky basketball’s attempt to make history with the first 4. The unusually deep and talented roster not only motivated a platoon system of substitution but also the idea of a video record of the season. Both the platoon and video ideas were tested or born during the team’s preseason trip to the Bahamas. About 4. 00 hours of video was shot. Editors needed about two months to produce a two- hour video. All the while, planners knew a loss would rob the project of its historical hook. Of course, the Cats lost to Wisconsin in the Final Four. Definitely a Debbie Downer not to win it all,” said Tim Asher, UK’s basketball video coordinator. But the video is more about the story (of a season) than the 4. On the plus side, Kentucky did make history. Winning the first 3. After Friday night’s win at rival Clemson, South Carolina is 1. We’ve got older guys that have been through it,” Coach Frank Martin said prior to that victory. They understand what you want. You understand them. The resurgence is a long time coming. South Carolina hasn’t played in an NCAA Tournament since 2. NCAA Tournament game since 1. This season’s veterans formed the core of a team that finished with a 1. That marked South Carolina’s first winning record since 2. Generally, experienced players play better than they did as younger players. That’s something to keep in mind as Kentucky players develop. They don’t give in to bad plays or don’t overreact to good plays,” Martin said of his veterans. They just kind of stay the course. Martin acknowledged that South Carolina hadn’t played “like an unbelievable schedule. The Gamecocks had beaten Norfolk State, Oral Roberts, De. Paul, Hofstra, Tulsa, Lipscomb, Western Carolina, South Florida and Drexel. But we haven’t played a bad game either,” he said. The numbers suggest solid, all- around play. Prior to Friday’s game, South Carolina had five players sporting double- digit scoring averages. I believe you win the game at the rim. Whoever gets to the foul line wins the game. South Carolina Coach Frank Martin, on their 1. Defensively, the Gamecocks had limited opponents to 3. Opponents had more than 4. Most importantly, from Martin’s viewpoint, South Carolina had made almost as many free throws (1. Because I believe you win the game at the rim,” he said. Whoever gets to the foul line wins the game. Hall makes changes. On Monday, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will announce the nominees for the class of 2. The announcement on which people will be enshrined next year will be made April 4 at the Final Four in Houston. The Hall of Fame made changes in how it goes about picking nominees.

The final movie in the series, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" was a satisfying, albeit bittersweet, ending. For those of you who have not read the books and do not want spoilers, I will give you this: we get much more Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth work so well together and do a spectacular job portraying the characters from author Suzanne Collins' trilogy. We see very little Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) and even less Effie (Elizabeth Banks); their absence is felt with the lack of humorous exchanges and lightheartedness. This is a dark, serious film without the one- liners the the previous three films had. Which is appropriate: the final book in the series is a solemn, pensive resolution to the war- torn Panem. The fact that many of the serious lines spoken by Plutarch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) were either delivered via a "letter" or cut adds to the somberness. But make no mistake: this is the mood that is appropriate for the conclusion. Any attempt to lighten it would have been a slap in the face to the series. I highly recommend seeing it; but even more, I beg you to read the books first. So much is glossed over and left out, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks from the novel. I think those who have not read the book will be left with some unanswered questions, many of which are answered in the book. OK, time to move on to the specific scenes I felt were important. This means there are SPOILERS ahead! SPOLIERS!! My favorite moments from the movie include: 1. Beetee and Gale discussing bombing methods (including studying the hummingbird's flight patterns- -thank you for including that detail!): This was a subtle moment and if you weren't listening you may not have caught it, but it was definitely essential to include in order for the resolution to play out like it does in the novel. By the way, was it just me, or was Liam Hemsworth wearing eyeliner? I swear Gale had more eye makeup than Katniss. It looked out of character. Commander Paylor as a strong leader: I was surprised how Paylor (Patina Miller) was portrayed in Part 1. ![]() Why make her look like a peasant? She is a strong woman in the book and knowing she would become the leader of the country in the end, I was disappointed that Francis Lawrence didn't portray her character that way. So I was extremely glad to see her more polished and confident in Part 2. 3. Katniss getting shot in the subway tunnel to the Nut in District 2: Though it's not as emotionally charged as in the book (when we get all the reminders of her father), it's an intense moment and played out well on screen. Finnick and Annie's wedding: Again, so much was cut, but viewers get to enjoy a poignant moment between Prim and Katniss, a funny exchange between Katniss and Johanna, and a tender kiss between Finnick and Annie. ![]()
![]() Peeta joining the Star Squad and Katniss telling him his favorite color, among other things: This scene brought tears to my eyes. Even though I know Katniss flees in this part in the novel, this is one moment that she could have broken character and just paused a little longer before fleeing to Gale's side. It was awkward when she plopped down next to Gale after that. But, I remember wanting to slap her at that part in the book, so I guess director Francis Lawrence was successful in capturing the emotions of that scene. Seeing what the "holo" looks like and how it works, finally: I had a hard time picturing the holo and the Capitol pods in the book, so I appreciated Boggs (Mahershala Ali) showing us. I also appreciated the pods correlating with those in the book. The Hunger Games Summary Suzanne Collins. a match to the death that results in only one winner. The story follows Katniss Everdeen. . They threaten that the winner will. What event does Katniss refer to when she says the most dangerous part of the Hunger Games is about to. . focusing on their personalities, motivations, relationships, and their roles in the themes of The Hunger Games. traditionally only one winner. The Hunger Games The Hunger Games is a young-adult. This is seen as an almost unheard of occurrence as the last winner was almost 24 years ago. While many were left out, the important ones remained. The tunnels and lizard mutts: Though I hated, hated, hated seeing Finnick defeated, this sequence was intense and well done. I missed Peeta delivering the line about how valuable Pollux (Elden Henson) was, but it was an emotionally- charged moment with Castor (Wes Chatham), nonetheless. And those mutts.. Terrifying. Seriously horrifying. Tigris' den: Her basement was how I imagined and I'm glad Gale and Peeta had the conversation about Katniss, though I don't think it had the same impact that scene delivered in the novel. The girl in the lemon yellow coat: Again, thank you Francis Lawrence for including these little details that mean a lot to the fans of the book. ![]() The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. for why she tried to Take a Third Option by taking the berries with Peeta in order to have them both die and have no winner. While movie- goers may not notice the symbolism, book- enthusiasts know anything yellow and child- like represents Primrose, also a yellow flower. Just like Rue.) When the rebels gun her parents down, and then her, we realize that the rebels are just as ruthless as the Capitol Peacekeepers. The sense of foreboding is apparent; we know another innocent life is about to be taken. The "Capitol" parachutes, which are, of course, the rebels: While the book portrays the children as a shield to protect Snow, the movie shows a kinder side of him, telling the audience that the children should be saved first. I think it was smart to go that route. The movie also speeds up this moment like the book did; we barely have time to register what has happened when all of a sudden, there's Prim, then Boom. All is black. I wish the movie showed Katniss questioning why Prim was sent in as a medic, which would be another clue that Coin is evil. People who haven't read the book must rely solely on President Snow's words in the rose garden. Katniss killing Coin: Yes, just as satisfying in the movie as it is in the book. Crazy Cat: This is where the tears started rolling down my face. Just like in the book, Katniss's depression is all- consuming and it's not until she grieves with the stupid cat that both she and the reader (or, in this case, the viewer) begins to sob, as well. Is this moment as touching for those who haven't read the book? Probably not. 1. 3. The kids: Seeing Peeta and Katniss with their children, and Katniss delivering the acts of goodness (though I think she used kindness in the movie) routine and the "there are worse Games to play" line was definitely a satisfying end. That baby, though. She was cute, but not so sure about the casting of her. I know it's picky that I should be critical of a baby, but the girl was born first in the book. And they are both playing in the meadow at the end. It's fine to have a baby in this moment, but all I could think was that she didn't look like either one of them. SHOCKING MOMENT OF THE NIGHT. What was that kiss between Haymitch and Effie!!?? Was definitely more than just a playful tease on Haymitch's part. The entire theater reacted in some way, either with a gasp of shock, a laugh, or an encouraging hoot. I was one of the gasps. My husband was one of the "bow- chicka- wow- wow" hoots. COMPARING THE FINAL MOVIE TO MY PREDICTIONS.. Gale and Beetee's death traps: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2*. Yep, made it in. 2. Delly helping Peeta remember scenes: *PROBABLY WON'T MAKE THE CUT*. Yep, didn't make the cut. I thought it was appropriate that Prim filled that spot. Finnick and Annie's Wedding: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2*. Yep, made it in, although it was such a brief scene. Katniss and Johanna rooming and training together: *PROBABLY A MODIFIED VERSION* Well, the modified version was basically Johanna stealing Katniss's morphine and talking at the wedding. I really wanted MORE Johanna, didn't you? Star Squad 4. 51 going to the Capitol: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2*. Yes, made it in, but the sequence was a little out of order and condensed. Peeta enters when both Leegs are still alive. But I thought it worked well for the movie. Hiding at Tigris's: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2*. Again, a condensed version, but glad this part was included. President Snow's wall of children protection: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2* I do like how the children weren't necessarily a wall of protection, but were genuinely there to make sure the children first were safe. Katniss' physical and mental trauma from the bombing: *PROBABLY A MODIFIED VERSION* The deep depression was omitted and I really don't think the full- circle of how Katniss becomes her mother from Book 1 translates at all in the movie. This was a theme that just didn't translate as well as it could have. Maybe because it is subtle in the book (I usually have to prompt my students to realize she as become her mother), they felt it wouldn't translate to the screen. Finding Snow in the rose garden: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2*It had to be in there, right!? The decision on whether or not to continue the Games with Capitol children: *PROBABLY WON'T MAKE THE CUT* I was way off on this one. But I don't think this scene made much sense in the movie. I think they tried when all the victors (except Katniss) were in an uproar when the idea was brought up, then half voted for it. Katniss was the one whose mind was reeling that Coin would even suggest there be another Games. In this scene, she was silent and voted yes like she actually wanted another Games. It was so wrong in every single way. I wish they would have cut this part, because it showed us that Katniss didn't learn a single thing through her experience. People who have never read the book must be wondering what in the world is wrong with her? Did she learn NOTHING from her experience? Francis Lawrence, you really dropped the ball on that scene. Katniss killing Coin instead of Snow: *MUST BE IN MOCKINGJAY PART 2*This was an easy one. Katniss being imprisoned in the Training Center for months while her trial takes place: *PROBABLY A MODIFIED VERSION*. Definitely cut short. And not having Plutarch escort Katniss home was so sad. Haymitch reading the letter just made it even worse. I think instead of the letter, they should have just reworked the lines for Haymitch. Plutarch was almost nonexistent in the movie anyway, so why not let Haymitch have his own lines? I don't think fans of the book would have cared. It was awkward hearing that letter. Returning to District 1. Kentucky Wildcats vs. UCLA Bruins: Game Time, TV Schedule, Online Stream, Odds and More. Everything you need for the battle of two schools who've combined to win 1. NCAA Championships. Two of the most storied college basketball programs face off Thursday night as the UCLA Bruins host the Kentucky Wildcats. The Cats are once again back atop the polls as they hold the No. It's a familiar feeling for both programs, though not one the Bruins have felt in quite some time. After making three straight Final Fours from 2. UCLA has failed to make it past the Sweet 1. Both of those Sweet 1.

Last year, the Bruins lost to Alabama, Colorado, Oregon State, Cal and Arizona State, none of which even made it to the NCAA Tournament. But winning cures all ills, and beating a top- ranked Kentucky team would certainly smooth things over for Alford. Last week, the Bruins went 2- 2 with a fourth- place finish at the Maui Invitational. UCLA defeated UNLV before losing to No. Kansas and Wake Forest. UCLA returned home on Friday evening and defeated CSUN 7. Sunday. Isaac Hamilton and Tony Parker each scored a team- leading 1. Matadors, while Bryce Alford logged a season- high 1. Speaking of, Bryce, Steve's son, has notched a team- leading 1. UCLA’s seven games. He leads the Bruins with 5. He's easily the Bruins' best player, and his ability to knock down a flurry of three- pointers can keep UCLA in the game with UK if the Cats don't cover down on him. He's not the only Bruin UK must worry about. UCLA may end up having the best frontcourt that UK faces before opening conference play in January. ![]() Tony Parker, a 6- foot- 9 senior forward, has recorded five double- doubles in seven games.

Aaron is the younger brother of former UCLA guard Jrue Holiday, who is now in his sixth NBA season now plays for the New Orleans Pelicans with Anthony Davis. When we last saw the Cats in action, they were playing without point guard Tyler Ulis against a feisty Illinois State club, the top- ranked Wildcats turned the ball over on their first three possessions and allowed Illinois State to hold the lead for 9: 4. The teams entered halftime tied at 3. Redbird gave the Cats all they could handle. But UK took control in the second half and used a 1.

The Hidden Deal: Underground Poker in NYCThe story was supposed to begin here at an illegal poker hall in Queens called The River, but The River ran dry and I’m left staring at a blackened door with a mailbox next to it that says, FISH. It must have been a marker or tag for new players to locate the building. Fish swim in the river, right? Fish, in poker terms, also means chump, which is how I feel when an entire casino packs up all its cards and plays an invisible hand of 5. More than likely, The River is flowing somewhere else, but I have no idea where to look. Everybody loves to gamble,” says Peter Dunn, a professor of Criminal Justice at the Katharine Gibbs School and retired NYPD lieutenant. According to Dunn, the level of interest an illegal gambling activity generates from the law is based upon its organization. We weren’t concerned with the office Super Bowl pool or the five doctors who got together to play a few hands,” he says, recalling his years working vice in Manhattan South. Our primary concern was any organized game where the house took a percentage. Some guys, if they’re smart, can get away with it for awhile. But sooner or later, everybody gets popped.”My contact at the casino in Queens isn’t old enough to buy beer, yet he’s been sinking and swimming in The River for over a year. He wears an ace of spades charm around his neck and has been counting the days until his twenty- first birthday since he was sixteen. I just can’t wait to get to Vegas,” he says, toting the latest poker bible around and quoting random passages. ![]() It’s a game of skill,” he insists. I could make a living off this if I didn’t have to go to school.”‘Ace’ just completed finals at an area college and was willing to take me to watch a tournament. He said they’d have a few games running at once and that there would be no problem getting in. If there was then a guy named Pretzels would tell us. Pretzels ran the house at The River and worked the door. Pretzels was a problem solver and I couldn’t wait to meet him. I was actually en route to the place when I got the call from Ace. No good,” he’d said. The casino was dark and no one was returning calls. They must have been shut down. Sorry.” Ace said he’d try to find another game, but I haven’t heard back from him. I decided to take the drive anyway. The River was situated among a row of interlocked storefronts tucked neatly behind an upscale Italian restaurant and a strip mall. ![]() Other than the quizzical FISH marking on the mailbox, there was nothing to distinguish the place as a den of iniquity. Completely hidden from the workaday world of Queens yet right out there in the open, it was perfect. The River had it all and I wanted it back. I needed to see how a tournament was run. I wanted to see how Ace handled his action, picturing him as a character from that old Scott Baio, Jody Foster movie, Bugsy Malone, where the kids all dressed and spoke like old- time gangsters, shooting cream pies at each other. I wanted Pretzels to size me up. I wanted to make him a star. But without Pretzels and Ace, all I had was a door and a mailbox. I started to see the city as a map with an enormous deck of cards flexing over it, waiting to burst across five boroughs, one enormous hand of fifty- two pick up with me chasing down the cards. Then I got an idea. It didn’t take long before I stumbled on the right website. Once there, I simply picked the state; NYC popped up within the New York listings then I was on my own. Each location contained a box for sponsors to describe the level of play at an upcoming tournament and what the buy- in was to enter. Buy- ins ranged from $1. It’s typical for subcultures to absorb innocuous, every day words into their jargon to put minds at rest. Many of the locations described their atmosphere as ‘friendly,’ which meant I could probably visit their club or tournament with an excellent chance of not being robbed or murdered. I made several picks based on proximity to home and a desired buy- in range ($3. Having no immediate urge to see the trunk of an El Dorado from the fetal position, I steered clear of the contact who called himself ‘Goodfella,’ then admitted total beginner status to everyone. At this time, two popular Manhattan poker clubs had just been raided and closed so my first week of trolling brought little results. I needed to sweeten the bait, stating how I had no problem with losing just as long as I learned a little something. I had a half dozen games to choose from by the end of the day. The clock on the wall says eight- thirty, but the time here is always NOW. I’m somewhere in the heart of Queens seated at a poker table in somebody’s basement. There are precautions and alerts the body goes through whenever entering the unknown. I’m absorbing my new surroundings, still waiting for the goose flesh to settle. The internet may be an extremely helpful tool, but it will always be a bit creepy. One minute you’re on your way to play poker with total strangers, the next you’re hanging up side down in someone’s dungeon. Upon entering I was not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed. The inside was decorated like any other basement in Queens, wood paneling on the walls and support pillars, a pool table opposite the wet bar, with pictures of Marilyn, Elvis, and Dean swooning and sneering from every conceivable angle. I could have had my first kiss in this basement. . New York City’s underground card rooms have had an almost legendary status for producing players such as. Poker Games; Play Poker.

Underground Poker: A. in a private New York City poker room last week has. impact' on underground poker rooms. Underground games around. I could have gotten drunk here in high school.“Relax,” the dealer opposite me says. We play a friendly game here.”Of course. The dealer is a big guy in his early forties who we’ll call Mike. This is Mike’s house, Mike’s basement, and everyone here is his guest. Mike runs the game from his wheelchair and pays himself five percent of every hand played- -all night long. His guests, in return, get to play poker until their money runs out, drink as much beer and coffee as they like, or wait until Mike’s wife serves her chicken parmigiana in catering tins warmed over a Sterno flame. ![]() . Rebuy and Freeroll Tournament around the New York City. Registration is required before details are provided about tournaments or cash poker games. There was a time in New York City, not so long ago, when men and some women, myself included, played in underground poker games all over the city. Underground poker is. in such cases only the organizers and/or hosts of such games. Some of the longest operating underground clubs have been in New York City. ![]() I pay my buy- in to the dealer and he slides me my chips. The chips themselves are a minor miracle in seduction. I just handed Mike grocery, gas, and rent money, but now I’ve got all these wonderful chips stacked before me and anything is possible. There are seven other guys at the table thinking the same thing, only they’re totally serious about their chances. The conversation revolves around the evening’s possibilities, all possibilities of the past, and any possibility in the near future. There are tales of going bust in Atlantic City, beatings taken at Foxwoods, and last minute winnings in Vegas, baby, Vegas. Someone mentions the remote chance of a casino being built on the Island’s East End by the Shinnecock Indian Reservation and the room falls silent with possibility.»“Hey, you gettin’ a job for the summer or what?” a heavyset lifer asks the fresh faced twenty- something to my right.“Me?” he says. ![]() A job? Why would I do that when I can be checkin’ and raisin’ people all summer long?” Laughter spreads across the table like a free round of chips, the type of guffaws shared by people with similar addictions. A cell phone goes off three heads to my right. A deeply tanned guy in his early thirties answers, tucking his chin into the phone and turning from the table.“Yeah,” I hear him say. You knew this is where I’d be.. I told ya I was workin’ tonight.”It’s probably time to admit that I’ve never played a true hand of poker in my life. I showed up here looking for a story and have more interest in the players than the game. My subjects, however, are into winning money, my money, the way I’m into stories. I’ll get what I want eventually- -and so will they. There is one thing that I did do in preparation for my first card game. I created a poker starter kit for myself. Since my knowledge of the game began at zero I went with the obvious choices. I bought a copy of Poker for Dummies, rented Rounders with Matt Damon, then stumbled upon a decent memoir/how- to book on the underground game called Poker Nation by Andy Bellin. My kit was heavy on atmosphere, but details on the actual game were still whizzing past me. Damon loses the girl, but comes to terms with what he is, a card fiend, then heads out West for The World Series of Poker. Bellin introduced me to the underground life and taught me some important jargon, and chapter one of Poker for Dummies is just plain hysterical: “Poker has always been a microcosm of all we admire about American virtue…Call it the American Dream- -the belief that hard work and virtue will triumph…It is an immigrant’s song, a mantra of hope; it is an anthem for everyone.”Back in Mike’s basement, the first hand is about to begin. I’m peering around the room, taking in all these proud Americans, the sons of immigrants reaching for their slice of freedom pie and realize the true hunger of the place. Mike shuffles the deck and lays down the button. My first two cards come sliding toward me. I have two pair of something or other, but I’m not sure where it falls in rank. There’s a crumpled piece of paper in my pocket that lists the hands from lowest to highest, but I don’t dare pull it out. Mike quickly realizes my ineptitude by the way I hold my cards right out in the open like some Hollywood cowboy. He picks up on my ignorance by the way I repeat the phrase, “hit me,” like Danny Devito’s character during the poker scene in Cuckoo’s Nest. Mike understands poker like a second language and he silently agrees to become my interpreter. He lets me know when I’m up, and when it’s time to check, raise, or fold. After each hand’s been played, he tells me whether I made the right choice or not. Through some fluke of nature, I end up winning the first two hands. Then the razzing begins: “What kinda beginner’s luck is this?”“He ain’t no beginner. This guy knows exactly what he’s doin’.”“I know. Washington Mystics @ Minnesota Lynx.
